Take My Breath Away

Peterson just didn't care about Sterling.

The next day after the wedding, Sheffield and Evelyn embarked on their honeymoon. The newlyweds' first stop was Paris.

After they spent a wonderful evening gazing at the city skyline from the top of the Eiffel Tower, Sheffield took Evelyn to ride on a merry-go-round at the famous Carousel of the Eiffel Tower just around the corner.

As the brightly painted wooden horses spun to the cheerful music playing in the background, Evelyn shot a sideways glance at Sheffield, who had been smiling at her the whole time. "Why did you bring me here? Gwyn isn't here," she asked.

"I want to take you for a ride," he said frankly.

This idea took form inside his head when he took Gwyn out on a merry-go-round for the very first time. The fact that it ended up happening so soon was merely coincidental.

"I am not getting up on that!" Evelyn refused bluntly.

She didn't mind the other adults who were having fun on the merry-go-round. However, Evelyn felt she had passed the age for such childish sentiments.

On the contrary, Sheffield loved indulging his childish habits. Far from behaving like a regular 28-year-old, he was the prime example of a man-child.

Sheffield grabbed her hand and said, "Oh! Come on! Just one ride! Stay close to me!"

Evelyn refused again. "No, not this. Choose something else." Evelyn still couldn't believe that Sheffield had just told her to go on a merry-go-round with him. Who would expect that from the CEO of a multinational corporation? The famous Star Anise! The man who was once the deputy director of the nephrology department of First General Hospital in Y City.

"Do you know what couples who ride a merry-go-round do?" Sheffield asked, staring at her with expectant eyes.

"What?"

"This is a very popular spot! In fact, this is where all the couples come in from the Eiffel Tower to show their affection for each other with a kiss. It's meant to signify the loyalty of their love,"

Sheffield explained. 'Huh? How have I never heard about this before?' Evelyn wondered.

Disregarding her resistance, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the merry-go-round.

He sat her down on one of the horses and rode the one next to hers. Sheffield narrowed the distance between them, perfectly positioning himself for a romantic kiss.

Just as the music started playing, the carousel started spinning.

The weather in Paris that day felt like a kiss of summer without the fiery heat of noon time in August. The grass was a soft green that almost had a hint of blue and in the sky was enough pristine white cloud to sho

"I have added your and Gwyn's names on the Tang family's residence booklet. She can start kindergarten in a few months," Sheffield told Evelyn. Gwyn's name had been officially changed to Gwyneth Tang.

"I haven't decided which kindergarten to send her to. I wonder if my parents have picked a kindergarten yet." Luckily, Gwyn had been attending early childhood development classes regularly. Hopefully, it would be no problem for her to get along with the other kids by the time she started kindergarten.

"Dad has picked one out. It's an international bilingual kindergarten in the Eastern District. He's even checked all the teachers' backgrounds in advance so you won't have to worry about it." Sheffield and Carlos had talked about this when they were at home.

"Gwyn is much more willing to communicate now. Thank you so much, honey."

He was displeased by the courtesy and formality in her tone. "What are you talking about? I'm Gwyn's father. I care about her. I'm happy to see her happy. In addition, I didn't do much for her. Gwyn is a lively girl by nature."

It was undeniable that Gwyn took after Sheffield. Evelyn joked, "What if she turns out to be as talkative and annoying as you when she grows up?"

Sheffield furrowed his eyebrows, pretending to be upset. "Do you still prefer guys like Dad and Prince Ji? They're just like you. In fact, you all could live happily together in perpetual silence. That sounds like a very interesting marriage, right?"

Evelyn didn't seem very amused with that remark. "Why did you mention Calvert?" Evelyn cut a piece of dessert with a spoon and put it to his lips. "Eat your punishment." She grinned mischievously, recalling how much he disliked desserts and sweet food in general.
